How to formulate Learning Objectives?
A Learning Objective has 3 basic components:
The Performance: This will focus your attention on identifying the key idea that you want to convey to your students.
The Condition: This will help you in selecting the tasks, resources, and teaching methods that you think will help students learn.
The Criteria: This will help you to articulate the exact behaviour or action in students that you would consider as evidence of learning.
Let us understand this with the help of an example:
Let’s take a Class 2 English topic of pronouns. Let’s assume the teacher used a pronoun chart to teach students how to appropriately replace nouns with pronouns.
Here’s an example of an LO which is effective and relevant: “Students will replace the given nouns with appropriate pronouns with 100% accuracy using the pronoun chart.”
This Learning objective is effective because it clearly states the Performance (replace the given nouns with appropriate pronouns), Condition (using the pronoun chart) and Criteria (with 100% accuracy).
